What is the largest storage-based procurement in Canada?
The IESO issued the largest storage-based procurement in Canada in February 2023 with the Expedited Long-Term 1 RFP (the ELT1). The ELT1 resulted in a total of 739 MW of utility-scale storage being procured, with in-service dates in 2026. The weighted average price for successful proponents was approximately CAD836/MW.
What types of energy storage are available in Canada?
There are three main types of energy storage currently commercially available in Canada: Storage is playing an increasingly important role in the electricity system by improving grid reliability and power quality, and by complementing variable renewable energy sources (VRES) like wind and solar.
Can Canada reach the full potential for energy storage?
However, that leaves a wide gap to close to realize Canada’s goals and to reach the full potential for energy storage in the country. Even the low end of the estimated potential for storage is equivalent to Manitoba’s entire installed generating capacity as of 2020. Today’s national installed capacity of energy storage is less than 1GW.
